The title says it all.

I personally feel like we swung and missed on back-to-back firsts. I am not throwing in the towel on either and hope they can be great Chargers, but there are other guys at those same positions who went later in those drafts that are performing much better. As the GM, you take responsibility for the scheme, how guys are used, and their success or lack thereof.

We also built much of our starting OL in 2022, taking two Gs who are rating at below average by PFF.

There are some hits farther along, including incredible production on the edge from Tuli and Mack.

2022: 1 G Zion Johnson, 3 S JT Woods, 4 RB Isaiah Spiller, 5 DT Otito Ogbonnia, 6 OL Jamaree Salyer, CB Ja’Sir Taylor, 7 DB Deane Leonard, FB Zander Horvath.

2023: 1 WR Johnston, 2 EDGE Tuipulotu, 3 MLB Henley, 4 WR/KR Davis, 5 G McFadden, 6 DL Matlock 7 QB Duggan

I just cannot give a C grades to drafts with missed first round picks, which I suggest we got back-to-back of. That is average, that is the minimum. Despite success later I got D grades both years.

What do you think? What are your grades at this point in the season?
